Can you access recovery via the hboot menu?
If not, have you tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot?
Also, and this would help the most, how did that happen? I mean: did something go wrong while flashing some zip or radio? Please explain a bit further so it can be easier to help you out...

Cant access recovery it just gives me the white htc screen
I havent tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot because I dont know how, how do ya do it?
And as to how it happened I was using unrevoked to flash amonra recovery it and it was "rebooting" but then it said an error about couldnt write to misc or something and the phone was stuck on htc white screen, tried rebooting and nothing, recovery nothing.
So yh i think flashing a new recovery will do the trick, linky to a guide?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I see...well imho flashing a new recovery could do the trick for you.
First of all let me know this: have you got s-off? If so you can use fastboot commander to flash it, very easy and fast.
Moved to Q&A as not development.

s-off? hmm dunno lol
I originally rooted using goldcard method and flashed the rooted zip then many different roms since. recently used unrevoked to get clockworkmod recovery which was working fine and flashed a new rom and then tried unrevoked again to get amonra but then i got to this situation
Hope this helps
Get the RUU your Desire came with and go back to that. Then start again
I have s-on and tried ruu's but failed as have no working goldcard and i have 1.21 on phone and the voda ruu that my phone came with is 1.19
Ive tried the PB99IMG.zip method but that just shows main version higher error is there a way to trick this stage?
I'd just stick to using a stock WWE ROM until the 2.10.161.2 RUU shows up (if at all)
whats the diff between RUU and PB99*.zip? I have the same problem also. Cant access clockworkmod.
Im thinking of flashing it again using PB99 in hboot then root again. Or how can we flash the recovery?
No difference, just that an RUU needs Windows. Both wipe the phone and reset it back to 'out the box'
I see so I can flash PB99 in HBOOT(transfer pb99 to sdcard) then root again?
Or is there another way I can access the recovery or flash the recovery?
Thanks
Just flash the zip from hboot and then root again with unrevoked. Then set the phone up again as it'll be wiped

Thanks! It worked. I'll root it using unrevoked then, how do I make that clockworkmod recovery permanent or something?
When you use unrEVOked it flashes Clockwork Mod as your recovery so it'll be permanent (unless you unroot again)
This might work for of you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
you got the error of a higher main version because you did not have a GOLDCARD.
YAY!!! :-D :-D :-D

Hi there.
Sorry to jump in on your thread but wondered if you can help. Have the same problem as you and can't create a goldcard as I can't boot up my phone. Could I use a clone of your goldcard if you were kind enough to email it to me or would that not work?
Thanks,
Matt

Im afraid each goldcard has a specific cid used to create the goldcard
My advice is to borrow another android phone/device with sd slot and use it to get your cid. Theres a handy program on the market to get your cid for you, just search for goldcard on market when your sd is inserted.
When you have the cid go on the internet and get your goldcard image. Put ur sd in your comp and do a full format as fat32 and use hxd to turn it into a goldcard.
Thats how I did it! :-D
Guys i have a question regarding the htc splash screen. I rooted twice today just to test a few things.
When i rooted for the first time i used windows 7 + hboot drivers from unrevoked3 site and flashed/rooted my device (stock rom (froyo)). Everything worked fine but when i run clockwork recovery mode and select the backup option i get something strange.
My device is backing up and it says it's done, when i select the reboot option my device get stuck at the splash screen and reboots, hangs, reboots, hangs, reboots etc. I need to pull the batteries off to get back in recovery mode. This time i select restore and select the backup i created before all this happend. Now it's passing the htc splash screen.
Because i thought i got problems with the windows drivers i decided to root with linux, so i installed the official ruu update over my rooted rom and root it under linux to make sure i am a bit saver.
Now when i do a backup and reboot again i get the same thing ? it hangs at the splash screen. Is the unrevoked recovery tool bugged (clockworkmod) ??? because when i restore with the backup i created it is passing the htc splash screen again.
I don't understand.
(Sorry for my bad English)
PS: I used this rom to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519
As far as i know you need to root only once..i guess rooting again n again may hav messed wid phone..nt sure though..wait for a reply from someone who is experienced..i hav been using android since past 3 months only

What you could try is this.
Use unrevoked again, but in unrevoked select a alternative recovery image.
Then load this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
This is the amon-ra recovery. And for the record, you can root with unrevoked as many times as you want
Btw, you are sure that you waited long enough? If you restored a nandbackup, booting the phone can take 5-10 minutes
Oo..i thght it is similiar to jail breaking tht needs to be done onl once...lolzz

You really didnt read well didnt you ? it already happend the first time i rooted . Secondly, if i root and install a official ruu update over it everything will get wiped and cleaned....so there would be no problems when i decide to root.

Yeah i am sure....after backup the phone showed me the menu screen that i could select options such as rebooting the phone. When i reboot after backup it doesnt get passed the splash screen and reboots (and those steps gets repeated). If i don't use recover....my phone is dead
- Flash a stock ruu (rom)
- Then root again and use amon ra.

Clockworkmod will never get on my device again.

This seems to be a documented problem with Unrevoked. The first reboot after rooting and backing up Nandroid seems to hang the system for some, and restoring the Nandroid fixes it. After restoring the Nandroid (as you did) there should be no further problems. And since you did that, your problem should have been fixed. And since you restored to a rooted copy, why did you have to try again with Linux? Your problem was already fixed by the Nandroid Restore..
unrEVOked isn't the issue, Clockwork Mod is...just use AmonRA instead

Thought the 1st Nandroid Restore fixes it..Does Clockwork mod still pose probs?
Clockwork Mod is the issue - flash AmonRA from the start and you won't have this issue (or I never have anyway, use AmonRA as you can partition SD cards in it)
I have the same issue can't pass htc screen and with 2 black lines.
I will flash RUU then root by unrEVOked. My question is how to flash/install AmonRA, do i have to flash using Clockwork will it override my recovery? Sorry guys noob question...

I didn't have 2 black lines, mine rebooted after it couldnt pass HTC splash...i needed to remove battery or it keeps rebooting.
What i did with clockworkmod is restore (the backup you created before rebooting)....this should fix the problem. If this is not the case then i don't know because i never rooted before. You should ask a expert.
Anyway because i needed to restore anytime i posted this topic, people said i should use AmonRA. So to do this i installed the latest official ruu (posted by EddyOS) (to make sure everything is clean and good again). Then i used linux to make sure it is saver.
When you downloaded the unrevoked3 tool open it and don't plug you phone yet, go to options and select custom recovery. Now select the AmonRA (latest version i used) to flash with unrevoked3. Now plug in your phone and relax.
The only thing i am scared off is to flash hboot to go s-off.
Actually the cause of this problem was when i have tried the method for s-off...sad...
When i run unrEVOked it says this thing....
Device "/sbin/sh:getprop: not found
"is not supported at this time.

Try flashing true Linux. Download Ubuntu and this way you can boot your pc in linux.
Could you please give me a step by step guide on how to this unrEVOked if i have already booted up to linux? Im not familiar with the codes.

Question.... i rooted my phone using unrevoked and installed 2.5.0.1 but now i want to use the 3.0.0.6 i have it downlaoded and on the sd card of my phone and i ran it in recovry and it loads fine how ever when i restart my phone the recovery keeps reverting to 2.5.0.1
could someone just tell me where im going wrong with this XD
cheers the only thing i can think of doing is instaling a RUU then rerooting with a img of 3.0.0.6
Cheers
Hi there,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901503
Well i have tryed to use unrevoked to flash the img file and it always passes the first reboot how ever it always eather failes with a communications error or it sits on waiting for system to settle. and after a reboot it still running the old clockworkmod recovery
I,ve managed to successfully go through the whole Unrevoked process, selecting custom image, yet I still have the old cwm recovery
Unless I run update. Zip. Or start. Recovery from rom manager I'm still using the old version. Is there something we are doing wrong or is there another method
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I have succesfully flashed it with unrevoked. Downloaded it from here http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img
However first time it stucks at htc logo and then unrevoked says "waiting for root (safe to reboot if not working)" or something similar, so i disconected phone, pulled battery, booted and stared all again. This time everything went fine.
Only problem was that rom manager was still saying that im on 2.5.0.1, so downloaded this http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.zip and copied into sdcard\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries\ and deleted the old one from this path.
Hope it helped...
Finally managed to flash cwm 3.0.0.6 using Unrevoked 3.14. Unrevoked 3.2xx just didnt seem to work at all for me. Recovery is now a joy to use, and performing nandroid backups seems much faster
Sorry for the stupid question, but where can i get version 3.14? when i go to unrevoced.com i can only get version 3.32 wich says "Device Wildfire not supported".
Strange because I've rooted my Wildfire on this PC with unrevoked, so all Drivers are installed and it should work. I think it's a problem with the new version.
thanks in advance
Can't remember where I found it, but I still have it. I'll upload it later
After instal recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img tru Unrevoked v3.14 there is problem with ROM CyanogenMod V7.0.0-RC2 superuser dont work i need to flash back with RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed.exe then again run Unrevoked v3.2 and after that do restore with 2.5.1
Unrevoked 3.14, for anyone who needs it

rapidshare link expired, i just tried

Reflashed clockwork 3.0.0.6 with it without problems.

You can't update recovery from ROM Manager. We don't have s-off.
Edit: In fact I'm not sure if ROM Manager can do it even with s-off.
My rom manager recovery is 3.0.0.6
I have described few posts back how i manage to do it.
And i also have fake recovery 2.5.0.1 i some zips have amend script and i dont have time to convert it.

I meant, you can't permanently flash your recovery via ROM Manager. For that you need to use a reflash tool (Unrevoked for us) or use fastboot if you have s-off.
Oh, that, right. Sorry, my mistake.
Flashing recovery without rooting
Is there a way to flash a recovery using unrevoked without rooting?
I really need to send my phone to my carrier so I'm worried that they could find I've been messing around with it and void my warranty...

Are you having 2 superuser app conflicting each other after flashing via Unrevoked 3.14 as it is described in other threads? (ClockworkMod v3.0.2.4)
Hi there,
Today, I wanted to change my Amon-ra 2.0.0 recovery to version 2.0.1, because I read somewhere that nandroid backups would fail. And it failed once...
I launched Unrevoked, then I switched the recovery, and started the process. It went right until I got stuck at HTC logo. I had to reboot via the 3 keys combination. Once rebooted normally, I went to the recovery, and the version installed hadn't changed.
Is there any other solution to get this recovery flashed, in order to be able to perform a backup and flash the new RCMixHD 3.4.1 with A2SD+
Thanks !
Yes, but you need to be S-Off for that - the fastboot method.
So the only way to change my recovery is to s-off my phone ?
Also, I forgot to mention that I tried to flash it with Terminal emulator, with the command :
Code:
su
flash_image recovery
and I got error message stating I was running out of memory, and the process couldn't end properly.
Becasue you can not modify the NAND while in boot (S-ON).
Try unrevoked 3.21 with the RA Custom image you downloaded.
That's what I did previously, but it didn't work... I'll try later when I'll be back from college...
Use fastboot or revoked method.....

unroot then run unrevoked again with newest amon ra chosen as recovery
I did this today
First u need S-off if u want to flash another rec., easiest way.
Just go to http://alpharev.nl/ download the Iso Utility,do like the instructions say,burn it,and boot it.Turn UsbDebbuging on,plug the phone and follow 3 ez steps.
After i recomend this tool for flashing the new recovery,takes 2seconds http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823315
Thank you all, i'll try this after the champions league match. Is there any risks with s-off ? Was it safe and painless ?

Turns out I didn't need to s-off my desire. I'm a fool... Everytime I launched Unrevoked, I forgot to run the program as admin... 2 minutes ago, it popped up to my mind, and abrakadabra, it worked !
Yeah, that was necessary
BTW, you can brick your phone if you are not careful with the S-OFF procedure.

I'm trying to go into recovery on my evo from Hboot but the phone always stays on the evo screen but i noticed the s-on on the top of the Hboot screen it use to say s-off but i let a friend install a rom and idk what he did but i can no longer go into recovery please help what can i do?
Reinstall Recovery
If you can't boot into recovery, then you probably need to install one again. I highly recommend Amon Ra 3.07 because it's simple to use and more features added on top of Amon Ra 2.3. However, if you've made any nandroid backups with CWM, then you should look into reinstalling that...
I heard of some app that tells you if you are rooted. Maybe start there. Sounds like you are not rooted anymore. Just root it again.
via EVO.
Yes one thing I left out before you do anything related to root, like installing custom recovery, make sure you are rooted.
yea i checked with root checker basic i am rooted but i have no idea what this douche did to my phone that my security is back on
Also i tried to root my phone again via revoluntionary.io but when it recognizes my phone it says that s-off is already done and to download clockwork mod recovery but when it goes to Hboot it says s-on

If he used unrevoked s-on then try using unrevoked to turn your security s-off. I did the same thing before (turning security back on) and when I used unrevoked it turned it back off.
Sounds like he messed your root up some how. Did you try a nandroid restore?
